Catch your first wave at Matosinhos beach on a beginner-friendly surf lesson with a small group. Practise paddling and standing up on the sand, then take the board into the water with an instructor at your side.
Full description
This lesson at Matosinhos beach introduces surfing in a group of up to eight participants per coach. It opens with a safety briefing and sand practice covering paddling and standing up on the board, then moves into the water with instructor guidance.
The board, wetsuit and sports insurance are supplied, and storage is available. Reviewers liked the quick move from beach drills to real waves and the attentive safety watch, while one felt the format suits a first try more than detailed individual coaching.
The meeting point is reachable by bus.
